“Surely the Gods gave her extra skill.” MARIE ISABEL EAGAN Ever since her entrance in high school Marie has been looked up to because of her brilliance. She is a girl who seems to know all of the answers. Although engaged in many outside activities, she has always maintained her place on the honor roll. She was a member of the Girls’ Glee Club, the Student Council, the News Staff, Round Table and various committees. In her junior year she was elected vice-president of the Student Association. This year she served as secretary of the Dramatic Club and has taken part in two plays presented by that group. She has been the outstanding violinist in the school orchestra. Her winning smile and pleasant personality have won for her many friends during her years at Somerset. She hasn’t definitely decided what career she wishes to pursue, but with her intelligence and personality she should go far in any field. “Honor lies in great works.” DOROTHY TEMPLETON FRANCIS “Dot” Of the number who have contributed much to Somerset High, Dot is one of the most outstanding. She has done well scholastically as we’l as socially. Her name has never failed to appear on the honor roll. She has been prominent in extra-curricular activities, serving as secretary of the freshman class, secretary of the Round Table in her senior year, a member of ihe Girls’ Glee Club, student councillor, vice-president of the Dramatic Club, and associate editor of the “News” and year book. At athletic games, Dot urged the boys on to success by leading the cheers. Her romance with a certain senior is the most talked-about in the class. This year she took part in “Drama Night.” Dot plans to attend Bryant College in the fall to study ac¬ counting. “In all the sense of the word—a ladg.” VIVA MARION GAUCHER “Vi” This young lady is perhaps one of the quietest and most dignified seniors. Her quiet reserve has hidden her qualities and accomplishments. Her friends, although not too numerous, are dear. She has done an excellent job as a member of the Library Association, and has always been cour¬ teous and willing to help. Of the little known of her, she is an accomplished xylophonist. Viva’s great ambition is to become a librarian and we hope that Viva has great success in the field she plans to undertake. Best wishes, Viva!

Smiling still he leaves vs.” WILLIAM FRANCIS DELANEY “Bill” “Bill” is one of the best-natured boys in the class. He is usually smiling even though the joke may be on him. He has been an ardent fo ' lower of music and sports throughout high school. He comp ' eted four years of orchestra work, was a charter mem¬ ber of the Boys’ Glee Club and possesses a fine bass voice. He has been a member of the football team for four years, earning his letter this season. He played freshman baseball and was a prominent member of the championship team of the intramural basketball league. The class will miss his good- natured jokes. Lots of luck, Bill! “The friendship which makes the least noise is often the most precious.” GRACE EILEEN DONAHUE “Grade” Quiet and shy is “Grade”; so quiet that her presence in class is hardly noticed. She has taken great interest in the commercial course during her four years at Somerset High School, and is knowr by everyone to be neat and exact in her work. So neat, in fact, that she has many times rewritten a paper instead of erasing a wrongly spelled word. “Grade” has several hobbies, but bicycle-riding is her favorite. She is still undecided as to what her future career will be, but we are sure she will be very successful in the vocation she chooses. “Actions speak louder than words.” FRANCIS PAUL DOYLE “Frann ' e” One of our most popular members is “Frannie” Doyle; the small streak of lightning, who, with Jim Lynch, formed the high scoring duo of this year ' s Na.rry League basketball competition. Although rather quiet, he has a very pleasing personali y which has won him many loyal friends. Frannie has followed a versatile career in sports, as is at¬ tested by his participation in football, freshman baseball, and two years of basketball. It is charac¬ teristic of Frannie to be the first to come forward with encouragement and cheerful aid. He has chosen welding as his future occupation, and, be¬ cause of his optimistic attitude, we think he will attain the shining goal of success, regardless of any obstacles that block his way.

“A sparkling smile, a pleasant voice, spreads happiness.” VELMA GIBBS Known far and wide for her dazzling smile, Velma has grown dear to the hearts of all who know her, and her happy, carefree disposition brings sunshine and laughter to those that share it. Dancing is one of her favorite pastimes and she is an ardent movie- fan. She has been a member of the Dramatic Club for two years. She is one of our jolliest, most viva¬ cious misses and her lively chatter will be missed by all. Velma is interested in becoming a hair¬ dresser and she plans to attend school in the near future. Next year, however, Velma will accompany her parents on a journey to Florida. Success and happiness always to you Velma! “He who talk much must say something.” ROBERT GRIME “Bob” or “Grimesy” Bob is well-known for his talkative nature. He played football for four years, and a letterman for three. He was also active in intramural basketball. Bob has played the clarinet in the school orchestra since he was a freshman, and also was a member of the Boys’ Glee Club. His preference for out-of- town friends has been noticeable during his four years at Somerset. Bob wants to be a welder and we know that if he sticks with it he is the type who will be one of the best. “They who know much say little.” MARGARET VERONICA HAGGERTY Quiet, reserved, Margaret has passed s’lently through her four years at Somerset High School. She has never been separated from Grace Donahue long enough to be seen alone. Margaret enjoys spending her Saturdays window-shopping. Al¬ though she has not been active in extra-curricular activities, Margaret has been prominent in the commercial department. She is able to take dicta¬ tion very rapidly. Her plans for the future are in¬ definite, but her interest in commercial subjects should take her far in that field.
